“In 2015, I had joined RIL’s media business. Jio was in it’s final stages of development. In December of 2015, I was called upon by the chairman’s office to run the PMO for Jio ‘friends and family’ launch. Now that I look back, I swell with pride to have been part of such a momentous initiative. Over the last decade, D2C businesses focused on lifestyle, social and entertainment have been the biggest beneficiaries of internet democratizarion by Jio. Infact they exist today because Jio changed the way India accessed data,” Kedia said.
“A decade later, I feel pretty stoked to be called back in the RIL family and be entrusted with the opportunity to scale Jio Games and build a gaming behemoth that India awaits,” he added.
